Condition Report
All three items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible. Also some surface dints and bumps, mainly around edges and corners. All hinges and clasps are in working order. However, when the cigar case is closed, there is a slight gap to one of the front corners as it has lifted slightly. Some rubbing and distortion but hallmarks are mainly legible.
